A performer in a bare-chested dance costume kneels in a squatting pose on a green floor before a cream draped curtain, gesturing with both hands held palm-up in front of the torso. He wears a multi-strand pearl necklace, a gold choker, a jewelled armlet, bangles, and a gold waist belt over purple trousers with orange-gold borders. A vertical tilak mark and dramatic eye makeup are visible, and a blurred camera sits in the lower right. Whether this is a particular person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the figure is described by role only as a dancer.
